Can't Stop Drawing

It's a pity that the villain in the bottle can't see anything now.

Edward has been to this inn in Central City many times. When he was a national alchemist, every time he came here, he stayed in this inn instead of looking for materials in the library.

Now, he and his younger brother are still arranged here.

Alphonse's physique is not suitable for long-distance travel. At this stage, he still focuses on meditation and recuperation. He can only return to their hometown after his body recovers to a certain level.

Before that, Edward could only contact Wen Li in his hometown through letters.

It was not only Edward who took care of Alphonse, but also Zhang Mei, a girl from Xinguo who couldn't go back.

She was depressed for many days.

For myself, but also for the elders and friends of the Zhang family.

In the end, she didn't know what she had figured out, but she regained some energy and decided to stay with Alphonse and take care of this scrawny boy.

As for Yao Lin and Lan Fang, who are both natives of the New Kingdom, they have long since disappeared.

Before that, Edward was called by Roy, and he learned of the hostility in Amestris, and the generals of the various armies were preparing to go to war with the coalition government for their own benefit.

Once the war comes, the teacher and father who left first, and Wen Li who is still in his hometown may be in danger.

For them, Edward asked Roy to help spread the message, and wanted to meet Ryoko Asakura, the special liaison officer.

So, he met the coalition government special liaison officer at the hotel where he was staying.

Also came along with the current actual controller of Central City—Major General Olivia.

"Major General, why are you here?" Edward looked at the blonde Yujie in surprise.

"Can't I come?" Major General Olivia replied lightly.

Edward was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, and hurriedly said yes.

Seeing that Edward had been restrained, Major General Olivia was calm on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.

"Just let me sit on the sidelines, I need to know what you said to the Coalition Special Liaison."

Olivia's words made Edward dumbfounded.

Why do you want to listen in on the conversation between yourself and Asakura Ryoko?

If you want to know what was said, you can change the place and engage in monitoring?No matter how bad you can ask yourself after the fact.

And why do you want to speak out about monitoring things openly?

In fact, Olivia is also very helpless, and it is only when she fully understands what is going on with Ryoko Asakura's ability.

To put it simply, Asakura Ryoko's ability can be regarded as an advanced version of the villain in a bottle, or the kind of villain in a bottle who swallows the "god".

Although it may not be able to match the maximum power of a single body, it is stronger than the villain in a bottle in terms of the versatility of abilities.

As long as Asakura Ryoko doesn't want others to monitor, Olivia can't monitor her conversations with others at all.

It can be said that Asakura Ryoko is invincible in Amestris as long as the large army is not dispatched.

Even a large army may not be able to do anything to Asakura Ryoko.

The villain in the bottle is eliminated, and another "little man in the bottle" is ushered in. I have to say that reality is sometimes ironic.

However, such a powerful Asakura Ryoko is a member of the coalition government, and her immediate boss is Link who wields the Wings of Light.

I don't know why, but Link seems to have a good impression of Edward and takes good care of him.

This made Asakura Ryoko also attach great importance to Edward's opinion, so Olivia must participate in the conversation between the two, and must know what they said.

Moreover, Olivia recently discovered some more serious problems, and she had to make a decision.

As for the major issue, it is naturally the follow-up effect of the inability of alchemy to work.

As a country that vigorously develops alchemy, has a national alchemist system, sends national alchemists to the battlefield, and has established multiple alchemy research institutes, how can there be no alchemy involved in various industrial facilities in the country.

Now alchemy can't work, some alchemy has a low participation rate, and even purely human projects can still operate normally, but most projects have been shut down to varying degrees.

The supply of munitions is temporarily in short supply. Anyway, there is not much need now, and the stock can be used for a while.

But the production of civilian goods is affected, which is a big problem affecting people's livelihood.

Once public dissatisfaction boils over, is Olivia the interim president still inappropriate?

Without a moral basis, not to mention that she has not used the military to control the entire territory, she is not yet an official president, even if she uses the military to control the entire territory and becomes the president, she will have to step down at that time.

With doubts in his heart, Edward was very uncomfortable under Olivia's gaze, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Well, may I ask..."

"Just call me Asakura."

Ryoko Asakura replied very casually, then raised her hands in front of her chest, and opened a light screen.

Two people familiar to Edward appeared on the light screen.

"Mr. Edward, are you familiar with these two people?"

"Uh...the friendship is not bad, may I ask where are they now?" Edward looked at Yao Lin and Lan Fang on the light screen in confusion.

The two people on the light screen were imprisoned in places similar to prisons. Judging from the two halves of the screen, the two were not in the same place.
